I am a fan. I go to races to see passing, not parades. In my past experience, that meant nonwing, not wing cars. However, that is dependent upon whether the track is prepared well enough to allow passing, no matter what kind of car. Unfortunately, we now have a situation where some tracks which feature nonwing sprint cars can not or at least do not prepare the track well enough to allow passing. Conversely, I saw some excellent wing 360 racing this month at Cocopah Speedway in Yuma, Arizona. For example, Roger Crockett came from 25th to 6th, and BC and Christopher Bell advanced well both nights. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that this track is in the middle of a desert, so I don't think that a dry spell is any excuse for not having a track you can race on. I have seen excellent wing MOWA races at Jacksonville and Lincoln, Illinois this year. All things being equal, I prefer nonwing but have seen some excellent ASCS 360 (and 305s at the Devil's Bowl) and MOWA 410 races.
If you can prepare the track well, it doesn't matter what you run, the show should be good. Perhaps you should try nonwing on a weekly basis with a MOWA show or two as a special event. I would like to see some consideration of 305s in this area. I saw an excellent 305 race in West Memphis a couple of years ago and the Devil's Bowl had 54 cars for its 305 race in October. You might also consider midgets, as they have put on some of the best racing I have seen this year. However, if the track isn't prepared well, it just doesn't matter what you run.
